I had mentioned it before, but I never made a post about it: Laravel Herd is a very practical developer tool that sets up new projects super quickly and easily. It includes everything you'd need for a new project:

• installs nvm
• installs a PHP
• the PHP even includes the most used PHP extensions like XDebug
• installs a laravel starter kit (you can even use custom ones)
• makes the project available under a nice domain like sideproject.test
• it can secure it creating a certificate for https

All in all it shortens the distance from "I want to start a Laravel project" to actually starting it by a lot. I recommend it whole heartedly over something like a docker container or any of the .

P.S.: There is a kind of costly payed pro version of Herd, but it's not essential IMHO.
